How does Oracle client communicate with a database server

Looking to idenify how Oracle Database Client for OpenVMS communicates with database server and whether the protocol used is secure. Realize that it is using whatever the configured network protocol is (ie. tcpip) but is languauge it uses ( ie. SQL, etc..) secured/encrypted and if not what steps can be taken to encypt

I have installed oracle client 10g on client pc for getting connection to Oracle databse 10g (runng on windows server) usng ODBC through SAGE ACC PAC (ERP). Working fine earlier. Now all of a suddent user starts complaining about database connection. When checked his pc registry values. Two values of ODBC keys are reset to null. Those are DSN and DRIVER values. How come this values reset to null? What is causing this to reset?Nothing in this has anything to do with the sever. You need to check what the client did on his machine that caused registry to get modified?
How does oracle ODBC works with Oracle database? Need to know all the steps involved?The connectoin from any client is initiated by a client process. This client process is supposed to get a server process to do his work. So if this is done, the client can work now with oracle . Please see the concepts guide for the gory details of the entire process.

Oracle 9i database server and Space

Hi,
I am new to Oracle. I installed 9i database server ( personal edition) on my machine at home just to play around and get a feel of Oracle. Unfortunately within a month my Harddrive was maxed out to full capacity of 72 Gigs. I had only used 12 Gigs when I first installed Oracle a month ago. I had to uninstall it completely from my computer. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem or how to rectify the problem
Thanks
Rishi

As Justin said, verify all trace files.
You can see with sqlplus where they are

Passing Parameter from URL to Web Forms - Oracle 10 Application Server

Hi All -
I want to pass parameter from a URL to 10g Oracle Web Forms - Oracle Application Server 10.1.2
http://server1/forms/frmservlet?config=SATWEB_SSO&otherparams=username_sso=BABUS
How to receive this 'username_sso' value inside my forms application ?
Created a Parameter in the same name as URL parameter 'username_sso' in forms but didn't receive the value. I want to know how to receive the value of this parameter within forms from URL.
Thanks - Suresh

Try this,
1. Create a parameter in the formsweb.cfg (say username_sso) under default section ( or you can create it in your own config section)
2. Add the username_sso in otherparams parameter as username_sso=%username_sso%
3. Add this username_sso parameter in your form.
4. Run the form as
http://<machine>:<port>.....?form=blahblah....&otherparams=username_sso=scott

How to install Oracle FM Forms 11g on client system.

Problem 1.
I have an weblogic server installed on a server, now i have to install oracle Forms 11g in client system. its ask me weblogic server path whatever i try, its ask weblogic on client. what is the solution how installation of Oracle 11g form connect with weblogic server."
Problem 2.

2. Installed Weblogic Server. (its work fine)
3. Now i m installing Oracle forms 11g 64(-bit). its show me an error (INST-07407: Unable to detect machine platform or JVM bits)
please help me out. waiting for your positive reply.

3. Now i m installing Oracle forms 11g 64(-bit). its show me an error (INST-07407: Unable to detect machine platform or JVM bits)It looks like you are installing the 32-bit version of Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMw) 11g - not the 64-bit version. As a test, install the 32-bit JRE and run the FMw installer again. If it continues past this point - you've got the 32-bit installer and not the 64-bit installer. :)

Oracle 10 forms

Dear sir,
I want to know that if i install oracle 10g forms and 10g database on my laptop then it will work or not..?
as currently i am working with oracle forms 6i and oracle 9i database on my laptop with o.s xp please..
Regards

You can install all of those products. Just keep in mind that it is better to install the database first, and also install each different product in an independant Oracle Home.

Oracle seeded form color got changed after registration of a custom form

Hi,
I have register a custom form in Oracle apps 11i.
Custom form is opening properly but when we are navigating to open the oracle standard form, oracle standard form is coming completely black.
Could you please through some light on it. It would be great help.
Regards

Sounds like your new form was not based on the EBS template.fmb so your new form has a different color pallet. When developing for the EBS, you should always use the template.fmb as the starting point for any new form. To fix this, I recommend you open the template.fmb and your new form and then copy all of the objects from your new form into the template.fmb and then save the template.fmb as your new form. You could change the color pallet, but there may be other things your new form is missing so it would be best to start with the template.fmb. This will ensure you have all of the default triggers and libraries attached that an EBS form should have. :)

Oracle streams versus oracle goldengate

Hi all,
I just found out about oracle goldengate and was wondering if anyone of you could share what are the differences between it and oracle streams when it comes to change data capture capabilities? Also, how does owb come into play when it comes to oracle goldengate? For instance owb 11gr2 has got cdc capabilties so does it mean its cdc capabilities is based on oracle streams?

Hi,
With CDC/Streams you have two choices:
process the Oracle logfiles in the source-database/server and read the resulting changerecords from the target database/server or
transport the logfiles to the target database/server and process them there.
The advantage of the latter case is that you relieve the source from the load of processing the logfiles, but target and and source then need to have the same database and server versions. Golden Gate, if I understand correctly, converts the logfiles to its own format (with mimimal load) and these can be processed by Golden Gate on a target database and server of a different version from the source.
So you have the advantage (little load on the source) without the disadvantage (source and target have to be of equal versions).

hi
Thank u for ur response.
Initially i tried to access pdf file from database server. I didn't get any solution for that. So I copied all my pdf files to Application server which is in Linux environment at "/home2/docs" directory.
I gave the following command for accessing the pdf files kept in Lnux Application Server from Oracle 10g forms in a button press trigger.
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/home2/docs/test.pdf');
It says "page cannot be found"
So I copied one of the pdf file named "test.pdf" to "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" in Linux Application Server . Then the following command
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/forms90/java/test.pdf');
has opened the the pdf file in browser.
192.168.1.53 is my Linux Application Server IP. and 7779 is the port.
Actually we have lacs of pdf files. So i cannot keep all the pdf files in "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" directory in Linux Application Server. And also all the pdf files not in the same directory , "/home2/docs" some of the pdf files r in the subdirectories of "/home2/docs/" like /home2/docs/sub1, /home2/docs/sub2, /home2/docs/sub3 etc.
Then how to configure my "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/server/forms90.conf" file for retrieving pdf files from "/home2/docs/" and its subdirectories. Is Anything other than this, required for solving my problems.
Now My PDF files r in LINUX APPLICATION SERVER not in database server.
Please help!! It is VERY URGENT!!!

Please help my Oracle Friends
Your early help will be highly appreciated.
thanks and regards

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01

Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01

CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

sir
By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
thank you for your patience for reading the question

How to insert into SQL server table form oracle forms

I created a form with oracle as my database. But there one trigger where I need to insert the data into a sql server table.
Is this possible. If so can any help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Asha

Hi,
You can insert into sql server database using the following steps
Note: Check wether you are using Forms 32 bit drivers. If not the Odbc data source will not work.
step 1: Create ODBC data source for SQL server(one time creation);
step 2: Logout from Oracle and login to SQL server giving the user name,password and host string as odbc:<odbc datasource name>;
step 3: use EXEC SQL statement to insert the values into the SQL server and then logout and login again to your oracle database.
Second Method.
Check the sql server documentation to insert the values using command line parameters. Then you can call the host command to execute this.
Third Method.
Write a VB exe to enter the values in the sql server making two connections one to oracle another to SQL server and then getting values from Oracle and putting in the SQL server database. You can call this exe using the Host command.
Hope this will help You.

Oracle 6i forms issue with Oracle 9i Database

Hi Friends,
I am having Oracle Forms Developer installed with patchset18.The Version is 6.0.8.27.0
When i connect the forms builder to 9i Database (9.2.0.1) the form builder is getting crashed but i am able to connect the forms builder to e-business suite database(9.2.0.6)
I tried installing 9i Database(9.2.0.1) on windows 2003 server,windows xp,windows 2000.
When i connect my forms builder to any of these databases the forms builder is crashing with don't send message error on (ifbld60.exe).
Is there any compatibility issue between forms builder(6i) and oracle 9i(9.2.0.1).Please suggest me.
Regards,
Arun .N

Forms 6i connects to Oracle 9 databases just fine, even though it is no longer certified by Oracle.
First of all, can you connect to the database with SQL Plus? Make sure that works first.
The other thing that comes to mind is the AL32UTF8 character set. Forms 6i and other older Oracle software cannot connect to databases using it. But I have only seen that problem with Oracle 10g databases, so I am not sure about the Oracle 9 db.
Here is a thread discussing the problem: Re: connecting form 6i to oracle database 10G express edition

thanksOracle Forms is best used against an Oracle database... so why on Earth would you want to use it against SQL Server?
Aside from that, Oracle Forms is old technology... you'd be better using Oracle Application Express (Apex) for producing web based apps.
If you must do things against an SQL Server database, you would need to set up heterogenous services connectivity (HS) and treat the SQL Server database as an external database.
